Weekend Plans

The weekend is here...and it is going to warm up! Just seeing the sunlight streaming through the windows makes me happy! And sad. Apparently, dust is clearly more visible in sunlight. Anyway, Friday night finds us home and without plans. The kids have requested fish fries for dinner. So fish fries it is. After that, we will probably watch a movie and fall asleep on the couch.

Saturday during the day is free as well. Steve and I will probably draw straws to see which of us gets to has to make the monthly run to Walmart for laundry soap, plastic wrap, and Clorox wipes. Wish me luck, ladies. Saturday early evening is Mass, and after that, Steve, Rhett, and Madison's boyfriend Ryan are attending a Wild Game Dinner here in town. Steve sponsors it through work, so they are going for a night out. Madison has work so Peyton, Flynn and I may head out for some Chinese food! Beef with Broccoli ...yummmm!

Sunday is supposed to be warmer here...almost 50 degrees! Madison is working at 3, so I am planning our big meal before she goes. Steve is going to cook on the grill for the first time this year, and I am going to try a new recipe to go along with it. It is ziti salad, with cucumbers and onions and a homemade dressing. I will let you know how it turns out.

After lunch, we are going to make our annual Shamrock Sugar Cookies. I have the best recipe I received from a mom of one of my students years ago when I was teaching. We don't make sugar cookies at Christmas, because we make so many others, and Valentines Day has so much chocolate, so I began making them at St. Patrick's Day, and it became a tradition. Imagine that...me and traditions?  : )

A couple of my dear sweet Blogger friends recently celebrated their special days! Please stop by and wish Patty a Happy Birthday!!!! She was one of the first friends I made when I joined this wonderful world of Blogging and she has the sweetest family! And my new friend Colleen also had a special day recently, in fact, she shares it with her son! She always makes me smile and has some super cute kids too!

Well, that is what we will be up to this weekend. I hope yours is happy, and sunny, and fun, whatever your plans may be!


This would be Flynn eating Madison's pumpkin bread when she left it to go make some coffee...


This little guy loves our brown blanket! He will snuggle with whoever has it!


Peyton whipped these up this week...and they were as good as they look!


This is what Flynn and I have been working on this week. These are the same letters I have taught all my kids their ABCs with. : )

  3. Where is time going...how can it be the weekend already? Do you feel like time just flies by? I love when your share your plans with us. I think I remember you posting before about fish fries, but I don't remember what they are. Different from fish fries at church/parishes, right?!!!

  4. Oh I love those letters! Are they magnets? So cute.. and a keeper for sure! I think I might work Chinese food into our weekend... I love beef and broccoli too! We cooked on the grill last weekend but it was way too cold. I think we started too early... there was still snow on the ground! Looking forward to 40's here this weekend.. with a possible snow day tomorrow... crazy March! Have a happy one friend! ~tara

  8. I have no idea what state you live in, but I was just telling my daughter about 50 degree days and once it hits 50 degrees, tons of snow will melt and we will want to go without our jackets!! (she was asking how long I thought we'd have snow) (I said April sometime)

    Have a great weekend!
